Yeah, that hasn’t been true for a loooong time

And I thought my 6800XT was big

I feel like you have the wrong idea of what hacking acting a actually is… But yes, as long as you don’t do anything too stupid line forwarding all of your ports or going without any sort of firewall, the chances of you getting hacked are very low…

As for DDOSing, you can get DDOSed with or without self hosting all the same, but I wouldn’t worry about it.

It goes over all of the steps of setting it up.

GPU passthrough has been pretty good for a while. The reason why Linus couldn’t get it working reliably was because iirc, he tried to do it on windows… I’ve done it before with a single gpu and have very recently set it up again, now that I have a 2nd one and gotta say, it’s pretty damn good…

CrDroid… Use it mostly because it’s stock android with a few extra options…

They are kinda choppy, when compared to native Wayland apps and screensharing from an app, running in xwayland doesn’t really work…

What is Plan9? Is is an OS… or a kernel… or a set of utilities? I’ve been sorta interested in it in the past, but have no idea where to start.

Lots, LOTS, TL;DR - flatpaks are sandboxed and work on every* distro out there, while apt packages are not and only work on debian and it’s derivatives. I’d say on mint or debian, prefer using flatpaks over apt packages as you’re usually gonna get newer versions of software.

I am gonna get a shit ton of hate for this… MacBook air. Yes, I am on a Linux sublemmy, saying that I like macs but the hardware is just too good to justify spending money on a x86 laptop.

Though, those new snapdragon X Elite laptops do look pretty spicy… Too bad they weren’t yet announced when I bought my Mac.

My hard drives are also 2nd hand and they’ve been reliable so far, I just generally know it’s bad practice…

My tip for saving money: buy as much as possible 2nd hand. You do not need the latest of latest gen hardware for a NAS/Homelab. This is excluding storage, and ESPECIALLY hard drives. Those you should absolutely buy new.

As for setting it up… My recommendation is to use TrueNAS scale with either RAIDz1 or RAIDz2, giving you either 1 or 2 drives of parity, in case something fails…

As for remote access, you can run a wireguard VPN server in a VM, allowing you to access it from anywhere, as long as you’re connected to said VPN.

Finally, recompiling the kernel to change scheduler will be a thing of the past…

Idk if it has that, as I just run a SMB share to achieve the same functionality

Files-on-demand? Meaning… Sync or?
